We’ll be taking over the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge MA, one of our favorite listening rooms, on July 26th for one heck of party. Joining us for the night will be The Silks, Todd Thibaud, […]

So, the Twangville posse is just about recovered from last month’s Twangville Music Festival, a weekend’s worth of fantastic performances from six incredible artists. We’re not done yet, however.

After the more familiar performances from night one, I was all the more excited to see three new-to-me acts.

Session Americana @ The Lizard Lounge, Cambridge MA Damn, these boys know how to throw a party!

Whether Dinty Child was standing on a chair, Ry Cavanagh […]
